Ok......I'm going to install the header tank, because that was my personal
decision.  It's a much simpler fuel management design in my opinion.  I have
a question for those with header tanks.  My kit did not come with the fuel
cap installed or included with the header tank.  Is it ........ in your
opinions.......... ok to leave the header tank without a fuel cap?  I'm
thinking like Dan Schaefer here that I can top the header before I fuel so I
only have to fuel the wings.  But, should I install the cap for those long
x-country flights where I will exhaust the wings and some of the header tank
also?

Opinions please.
